Our nation is only as strong as our willingness to understand the humanity in our fellow American's point of view even as we disagree with it.
It may seem in times like these that our democracy is teetering on the edge. But it is in such difficult moments that we as Americans find the strength and wisdom to fill the holes that have opened in the ship of our republic. If the plague of polarization seems to be intensifying, so too are the antibodies that are the goodwill of the American people. That is why we are here - and we are glad to have you with us.
